Poyet to Stadium of Light

[Cheeky Monkey]

Early favourite at the bookies

The words 'do' 'serious' and 'be' come to light. No one wants to play for Sunderland, let alone manage them. Not the most attractive management position and of absolutely no interest to Poyet or anyone else desiring any quality of life.

Need to win 2 games realistically to stay up and a much easier job than Reading who need snookers so why wouldn't he be tempted ?

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm seriously worried about this.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Isn't it about time they replaced those pink seats?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

If they come calling Poyet will at least listen.

 

[Hugo Rune]

It's very very embarrassing for a Premiership side to be turned down by a Championship manager and then be forced to pick their second option. Sunderland won't make the same mistake as Reading. Gus is going nowhere. Reading and probably Sunderland are going down.

Martin O'Neill is 61?!?!?! my Dad is 49 and looks much much much older than him!!!

 

[Cian]

This might *finally* put paid to the SundIreland plastics that fill the place up here, without ever having been to a game or given a shit before they were bought by Quinn et al.

Makes me laugh seeing Curbishley, he is there for every job but never gets a sniff. Surprised he didn't get quoted for the next pope

Has he retired? I've no idea what he does for money. Presumably life after Charlton paid exceptionally well.

 

[Marxo]

There should be a rule where at 10 games from the end of the season the compensation for poaching a manager should double after every subsequent game (i.e. 10-9-8 etc.). We could end up getting over a billion pounds for Gus!

Some goon on SSN saying Peter Reid

A genuinely amusing retort and not a capital in sight.

Collymore tweeted he had spoken to Sunderland and they will have someone in place before their next match, sounded like they have someone lined up.

 

[Napper]

If Poyet spoke to Reading then if Sunderland come knocking I reckon he would talk to them. 40k crowds . Big club. If they stay up (which they should) , a new manager should improve their position and improve their CV. Being serious this would not be a bad job for someone to use as a stepping stone to the top.

Red ones usually end up sun-bleached pale pink. Hopefully our blues won't end up sky blue-coloured in a few years time.

 

[Ernest]

Silly money maybe but someone is backing Poyet

 

[KJP]

Gus isn't even 4th favourite at most bookies

 

[KJP]

I'm seriously worried about this.

He's 16/1

 

[Socialist Sid]

Straight swap.

Gus for the Irishman, any takers?

Er, no thanks.
